" 5. Keep the Ignore special files option enabled "
and the wiki says:
" Ignore special files (folder.jpg, etc.) - You may not want to automatically import certain special files into your library. For example if you are using the folder.jpg concept of cover art for your audio files, you may not want to include these files. "
What the wiki says seems the opposite of what would make sense.
No Forum thread discusses this in a clear way.
Can someone explain "Ignore special files (folder.jpg, etc.)" ?
[This would be a good thread, because there is a big general discussion of importing and tags in it.]
MrC:
I think this came about when MC added Image support. Typical case - users want to import their Images, but not Cover Art. Cover Art is referenced indirectly by audio files, so there is generally no need to import.
csimon:
Yes - this possibly happens if you are importing your top-level media directory for your images, which includes your audio directory. You don't want your cover art imported and indexed as separate images for your images library. Nor do you want that automatic image that Windows creates whenever you browse a folder of images - doesn't that get called folder.jpg too, I can't remember?
If you are setting up individual imports for specific audio/images/video directories and you haven't got multiple media types mixed up in them, then the Ignore Special Files option is probably irrelevant.
kstuart:
That's clearer now.
I have to say that the Wiki entry is a classic example of "You have to already know and understand the answer, to even understand the wording of the explanation".
This is the tricky part of Technical Writing. You have to be able to put yourself in the mind of someone who does not understand - in order to figure out how to explain it.
The Big Labinski:
Sorry to come up with this old topic.
Is it possible to accumulate twice the same field- like this?
This is the source "M:\Musik\Buckethead\01 - Worms For The Garden (Buckethead Pikes #26).flac"
The final result should be in the Album tag: Pikes #26 - Worms For The Garden
When I use Fill Properties from Filename - in filename:
ead [Album])
I get: Pikes #26
When I use: -[Album](
I get: Worms for the Garden
Both are fine and correct for me, but how to combine both phrases in one time to get: Pikes #26 - Worms For The Garden.
+&{} were not helpful to add both of them.
Any help is appreciated.
